Essential Formulas & Mathematical Definitions

LHS Dimensions = RHS Dimensions
ΔZ/Z = (ΔA/A) + (ΔB/B)
Z = Aⁿ ⇒ ΔZ/Z = n(ΔA/A)

Dimensional Analysis Principles

Used to verify equation validity, convert between unit systems, and deduce formulas among physical variables.

Error Combination Rules

Absolute errors add during addition/subtraction. Relative/percentage errors add during multiplication/division and multiply by exponents.

High-Yield Exam Strategy & Scoring Tips

Step-by-Step Mark Allocation

Always state the governing principle or formula first, write given values with standard SI units, substitute clearly, and highlight the final numerical answer with units in a box for full step marking.

Common Calculation Traps

Watch for unit prefixes (cm to m, minutes to seconds, g to kg, degrees to radians). In coordinate and ray optics problems, double-check Cartesian sign conventions before computing.
